4:15 p.m.: Ryan Mallett has made it through the 4 p.m. deadline, so the Patriots will carry three quarterbacks into the regular season for the first time since 2011. Keep in mind, the Patriots made 27 roster moves last year during Week 1, and 11 more in Week 2, so these things are as fluid as they come.

The question is who was the final cut? They've still got 10 offensive linemen on the roster, and Chris Barker is at the bottom of the depth chart, but it wasn't him. Jordan Devey, Brandon Bolden, Darius Fleming, Chris White and Tavon Wilson would all appear to be candidates for the final cut, but there's been no word on them. Stay tuned.

1:38 p.m.: Tackle Chris Martin, who never took the field due to injury, has reportedly been released. The Pats only have one move to make. Here's a look at the 54 players who remain on the active roster.

12:52 p.m.: The Patriots released defensive lineman Eathyn Manumaleuna, according to agent David Canter. They also reportedly cut linebacker James Morris, which is really surprising because that leaves Chris White as the only backup linebacker on the roster (Edit: Morris was placed on injured reserve, not released). Maybe they think Darius Fleming can play inside, but he hasn't done it in camp. The Pats are down to 57, but they only have to get to 55. If they place Chris Martin on a reserve list, they only have one other move to make.

12:49 p.m.: The Pats are down to 59 players, as noted below, but they only need to get to 55 today. Brian Tyms will stick through his suspension, a source indicated earlier, and ditto for Brandon Browner. It's also possible, if not incredibly likely, the Pats place tackle Chris Martin on a reserve list. With all of that in mind, the Pats only have four moves to make before the deadline.

12:23 p.m.: More cuts, but no surprises this time. The Pats have released running back Roy Finch, according to a source. They also cut defensive tackle LT Tuipulotu, linebacker Ja'Gared Davis and safety Kanorris Davis and offensive lineman Braxston Cave, according to various reports. Finch had a chance to make the team as a kick returner, and the Davises have been good special teamers who could clear waivers. The cuts of the special teamers could bode well for Ryan Mallett. Also, getting rid of Ja'Gared Davis and Steve Beauharnais would seem to be a good sign for James Morris' knee considering the lack of remaining backups at inside linebacker. Chris White is still on the roster. The Pats are now down to 59.

12:07 p.m.: There's been a sudden wave of cuts in the past few minutes. Defensive end Jake Bequette, running back Jonas Gray and fullback/tight end Taylor McCuller have been released, according to sources. They've also parted with wide receiver Jeremy Gallon, linebacker Steve Beauharnais tight end Steve Maneri, defensive lineman Jerel Worthy, according to various reports. All but Maneri have practice squad eligibility. The Beauharnais and Worthy transactions are the most surprising ones of the day. Beauharnais looked like the top backup linebacker, and Worthy played well in his limited opportunities. The Pats are down to 64.

11:40 a.m.: The Patriots released cornerback Dax Swanson, according to a source. Swanson made a bunch of plays early in camp but leveled off before forcing and recovering a fumble against the Giants on Thursday night. He's a practice squad candidate. The Pats are down to 71.

11:15 a.m.: The Patriots released wide receiver Josh Boyce, according to a source. The 2013 fourth-round pick is a practice squad candidate if he clears waivers. Players can begin signing with practice squads tomorrow at noon. The Pats are down to 72 with the move.

11:08 a.m.: Wide receiver Brian Tyms has been informed he'll remain with the Patriots through his four-game suspension, according to a source. Tyms won't be able to do anything at Gillette Stadium upon the official start of Week 1, so it will be a challenge to stay up to speed with the offense. As is the case with any suspension, the Patriots will get a one-week roster exemption for Tyms, too, so they could theoretically keep him through Week 5 without making a transaction. After that, he'll likely need the benefit of an injury above him on the depth chart, or the Pats will release him with the hope of keeping him on the practice squad.

10:55 a.m.: The Patriots released defensive back Shamiel Gary, according to a source. Too much above him on the depth chart to make the 53. Sixth-round pick Jon Halapio, a guard out of Florida, has informed those close to him that he has been released, according to a source. Halapio is a strong practice squad candidate if he can clear waivers. The Pats are down to 73 with the two moves.
